I also am an avid fan of Asian tv and movies. Honestly, I felt the show was just perfect, delightful and made me feel very connected with the premiss in familiar obvious tropes in all the Korean tv I have watched. The concept here is just brilliant in mixing the two cultures. I believe we have enough of a sense of humor in both countries to play with the underlying 'mockery' of the tropes for films in Korean shows and it honestly made me feel very warm in the connection.
I didn't understand some comments of the acting. I actually felt everyone did an amazing job at keeping it real but also light and humorous with a bit to play with on the exaggeration of some obvious tropes. Really loved the choice actress for Claire. I was a bit mixed at first on the leading man as he did seem a bit more wooden and struggling with the typical Korean leading man part but also think it could be a bit more difficult to find the perfect blend of humor and slight exaggeration to serious lead man acting and guess that may have been the challenge for him here. He did warm up later though and was a bit more connected. I do think there was a chemistry with leading characters coming mostly from the last few episodes.
I can't wait to see the next season please. Truly a delight and something I could watch again easily. Loved, loved the beginning on episode 8 :-).
